TIMOTHY VINCENT RUE
OBJECTIVE:
* Seeking to enter the field of Animation/Multi-Media. Making such
a career move is the next logical step given my background, both
work, education and personal investment.

COMPUTER WISE - 14 years.
* Competent with AmigaDOS, PC\MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh and UNIX
at user level.
* Animation - I know my way around Lightwave 3.5 well and have
produced a few short animations (limited to RAM). I make
use of my background in art, CAD, lighting, stage and
movement (camera as well as stage). With Modeling I pull
from my experience of building and high skill level of
mental form perception.
* CAD - From cabinetry and exhibits I have explored CAD systems of
MicroStation, Design CAD 2D/3D, Casmate, Turbo CAD. From
personal equipment, Lightwave 3D v3.1, Accutrans, Pixel
Pro.
* Image Processing - Corel Draw, Toaster Paint, Photo Paint,
PhotoShop LE, ImageMaster R/t, Art Department Pro,
Image FX and a few other paint/image processing programs.
* Have done some programming in C (Turbo C and SAS C) and BASIC.
* Introduced to programming languages AREXX, AWK and ICON. As well
as HELM, a multi-media authoring system.
* Shell and batch programing use. 4DOS, Csh, and other shells.
* Personal equipment includes an AMIGA A4000, Video Toaster 4000/
Warp Engine 28Mhz/Emplant Mac Sys 7.5 and IBM 586
emulation/22 Meg RAM/2.75 Gig HD. CD-ROM 3x, Polaroid
CI-3000 film recorder. An A1000/2.5 Meg RAM/80 Meg HD.
IBM XT compatable. Two dot matrix printers and 14,400

CONCEPT PRODUCTIONS present.
Being a small Trade Show/Exhibit House, I do most everything.
From fabrication, warehouse, I&D, Graphics, etc.. My home base
position is that of heading the Graphics/Design-Render/Detail
department. In addition to this, I'm upgrading the company
computer systems in both hardware and software with the objective
of bringing in better CAD, rendering and graphics production
abilities. With the additional goal of doing fly through
animations and perhaps multi-media work. Currently my rendering
work is done with LightWave on my personal equipment though plans
are to get it up on Company PC's.
IDEAS Inc. 11/92 - 6/94
Hired to assist in graphics production (vinyl, cut-letters,
silkscreen.) In addition to my hired position, I would repair and
upgrade the computer systems in the graphics department in both
software and hardware. On my own I worked to promote evolving
the company into doing inhouse image generation/processing,
animation, multi-media, with an eventual goal of virtual reality.
And to do so with low cost and low risk while solving problems by
integrating data from various departments. Made a personal
investment in a Video Toaster 4000 system and additional software
and hardware in order to communicate by doing/showing.
VARIOUS COMPANIES. 1979 - present
Over fifteen years experience in Cabinetry, Exhibit, Display,
and Scenery fabrication. From cabinetry to theater to tradeshow,
have done most all there is to do from the production end. From
co-design of theatrical sets to set fabrication. From layout/cutout
in cabinetry and exhibits to installation (I&D), decorating and
rigging. Materials varied and often I'm given the more difficult
tasks to complete and freedom to determine how I'll accomplish it.
Early 70's - mid 80's
Helped many local bands as stagehand, soundman and lightman as
well as cameraman, using both consumer and professional level
equipment. Camerman experience includes numerious beauty pagents
and the 1984 Alburndale Grand Prix Kart Races.
